I'm afraid personal life has got in the way of me producing a more up-to-date version of Git since the versions you've found. I'll produce a new release when I get the chance, but I don't want to commit to any particular dates at this point. In the meantime, I'd suggest either not cloning untrusted repositories while using the `--recurse-submodules` option (or, as general security practice, not cloning untrusted repositories at all), or compiling Git locally yourself. As a general point, if people want to compile Git themselves, it's normally straightforward, either using the upstream Git sources, or using the Cygport packaging sources from https://github.com/me-and/Cygwin-Git. I only haven't released it myself because I have a higher bar for making sure the test suite passes and so forth for something that'll be used by a significant chunk of the Cygwin user base, than for something that's only going to be used by me.
